Whilst not wishing to decry the man, his techniques made my eyes water and could in no way be considered text book examples of the correct way to use machinery.

He described his work as simply something he did because it gave him pleasure to see people enjoy the furniture. No artifice, no awareness of having become an 'icon'. He simply did what he did because it felt right to him. And that is a lessen I have tried to carry with me ever since.
